Baby Shoes

These are Toby's new converse trainers.....
I don't really need to use any words to explain how divine he looks in them.Here he is.....

An afternoon out

After the laziest morning ever, (we decided we deserved a super-lie-in, and didn't get up out of bed properly until 12pm) we drove into the country and had an afternoon in Kyneton. It's an historic little country town, full of art galleries, lovely gift shops and cafes serving locally grown produce etc. Had lunch and a delicious latte, and just wondered around the shops. Toby was delightful as always, and got lots of attention from strangers because of his absolute cuteness.
Luis is still loving his camera, and kept taking shots of me. I don't mind this one, as photos of me go....

Everything is hilarious

It didn't seem to matter what I said to Toby today, he found everything funny
hysterically funny,

its a good feeling.

Christmas Day

Just thought I'd put a few more pictures of our Christmas up here for you.
Here's Toby opening and trying on his first pair of trainers....(just like his Daddy used to have)

and here's our Christmas table outside on the roof terrace,


and this is the feast - tiger prawns with lime mayonnaise, cerviche, followed by rib eye of beef with potato salad, tomato and basil salad and a green salad. We finished it all up with homemade peach and raspberry trifle, of which I had 3 helpings, and feel very sick now.....and here's Toby playing with one of his new toys

Christmas morning

We got to have a nice little lie in this morning, Toby didn't wake until 9am. Then we helped him open all his pressies......


Lots of books from us,



a beautiful cosy blanket and toys from Aunty Alison and Uncle Phil,
(check out Toby and his Dad's matching chins in this photo)

a delicious peek-a-boo frog from Granny and Grandpa in England (that was stuffed in his mouth the minute he opened it!)

and lovely socks from Great Aunt Bea


Toby's first Christmas and he was super excited.

Christmas Eve

Merry Christmas!

with love from the 3 of us xxxxxx
(you see, I did the illustration for my Christmas cards, I just never got around to sending them.....I completely blame Toby for taking over my life and my brain...)

Playing

Flying

Toby really laughed today for the first time! I was 'flying' with him in my arms and he started laughing, it was a divine moment. Luis managed to capture him on camera

It's really hot today, so we are just lazing around the house with the blinds down trying to keep cool. I managed to finish my Christmas garland while Toby has been sleeping, and feel quite pleased with it.

Toby has been sleeping quite a bit lately during the day, so I've bee making the most of it and crafting like mad. Here's a little sneak peak at some of the little bits and pieces I've made for my Christmas garland.....
